- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to merge two UNESCO heritage applications, Jingdezhen porcelain and Lidu brewing, into one cohesive design. Research focused on Yuan Dynasty blue and white motifs, underglaze techniques, and movable type printing to authentically integrate cultural elements. Balancing artistic detail with usability required engineering precision, especially for the engraved alloy cap and rotating case. The goal was to create packaging that feels both luxurious and functional, serving as a cultural bridge between tradition and modernity.
